U+10742 "𐝂" Linear A Sign A703 D Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10742 "𐝂" Linear A Sign A703 D is a symbol from the undeciphered Linear A script used by the Minoan civilization on Crete during the Bronze Age, primarily between 1800 and 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as A703 and given the subtype "D," represents one of the many syllabic or ideographic characters found in inscriptions on clay tablets and other artifacts from sites like Knossos and Phaistos. Although its exact phonetic value remains unknown because Linear A has not yet been fully deciphered, scholars hypothesize this glyph could represent a specific syllable or a logogram for a commodity such as an agricultural product or a measure. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that researchers and linguists can digitally encode and study this ancient script, preserving a key piece of evidence for understanding Minoan language and administration.
